Operation Switch (Page 1)
BnkJus (Bank Justification)
Determines whether banks of
channels in Normal mode are justified at the left, left center
(to the left of the Main Unit), right center, (to the right of the
Main Unit) or right side of the control surface.
CF Jus (Custom Fader Justification)
Determines whether chan-
nels in Custom Fader mode are placed at the left, center-left,
center-right, or right side of the control surface.
Rotary (Rotary Encoder Mode)
Determines responsiveness of
rotary encoder knobs. Fixed mode is at normal resolution. The
velocity modes set different rates of encoder acceleration. In
Fine mode, response is fixed and at fine resolution.
Encod (Encoder Order)
Determines whether inserts, sends, and
pan controls will be displayed in order from top-to-bottom or
bottom-to-top on D-Command rotary encoders.
PIDef (Plug-in View Definition)
Determines the view of plug-in
parameters in the Custom Fader section (Name view, Ex-
panded view, or Fader view).
FCStrp (Focus Channel Strip)
Determines whether focusing a
channel in the Focus Channel section also places a duplicate
of the focused channel in the channel strip to the immediate
left of the Global Controls section.
When Focus Channel Strip is enabled, all controls and modes
are linked. You can, however, use four encoders simulta-
neously by using the Page Up or Page Down switches to bring
a different set of sends or inserts to the duplicate channel’s en-
coders.

channels allocated for Custom Fader Plug-in mode.
CFGrp (CF Bank Size for Custom and Mix/Edit Groups)
